My Story
Matthew 19:26

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." With God All Things Are Possible

I would like to share my story about my pregnancy. My pregnancy is truly a miracle from God. In March of 2000 I married a guy I met in high school and after a few months we decided to start trying for a baby. I was told by my Dr that I had a poly cystic ovaries also known as PCOS. So having a baby would be more difficult than we expected. So after a year of trying and praying we decided to try fertility for a few months. After taking that I had to go for an ultrasound every month and nothing was happening. No follicle's on my ovaries, no baby so I was beginning to give up. I was so upset and depressed because I wanted a baby so bad. All I could think about was a baby. All my friends were having babies and even my sister. I was so upset I couldn't even go to a baby shower without being upset. 2 years into my marriage still no baby.I went back to the Doctor and we both talked and agreed that it probably wasn't going to happen. I was hopeless. Then in October of 2002 I found out my husband was having an Internet affair which had been going on since April. After all we had been through I was devastated. I suggested we have counseling and he told me he didn't need any counseling. I didn't know what to do. So two days before Thanksgiving of 2002 I left him. I tried to work it out and I was so upset because my Dad being a Baptist preacher and all I was like what are they going to say about me and about my family. People were so upset by it they couldn't believe it, neither could I. I felt like I was living a nightmare. In March of 2003 our divorce was final and I did my best to move on. So I dated and just couldn't trust a man. I was too scared. Even though I wasn't married I still had the yearning for a baby. In December of 2004 I met a wonderful man. We went out and had so much in common. He made me smile and laugh like I hadn't in years. Then one night we talked about marriage and I broke down and told him that I probably wouldn't be able to have a baby. He was very understanding and told me he was okay with that.. As long as he had each other we would be okay. So we married on October 14, 2005. Things were going great and in December I found a lump in my left breast so I went to the Dr and they sent me to the Breast Center for an ultrasound there I was 26 and thinking wow this cant be happening to me I just got married and I want us to have a life.I prayed that everything would be okay. I went for an ultrasound the end of December and the lump was gone. Praise the Lord. Things were getting better and we were so relieved. Then in January my Papa got sick and was in and out of the in hospital. We were at the hospital a lot. He was in ICU. Things weren't looking so good for him. So one day at the hospital I was feeling very tired and light headed and sick to my stomach. I guessed it was stress and left it at that. Then it started getting worse. My Aunt told me I was pregnant and I was like no I am not I can't have babies. They just kept on and on about it. So on Feb 3,2006 I went to Walmart and purchased the cheap store brand pregnancy test because I was going to prove that I wasn't pregnant. Well when that test came up positive I was so shocked. I was thinking to myself NO WAY!! So an hour later I took another one and it was positive too. So I took the tests and went across the street to my Aunt's house( the one that told me I was) and we went to Walmart to get an EPT. So all 5 came up positive. I was so happy I was crying. So I went to my husband's work and was crying and he said what's wrong Bebe? I told him we were going to have a baby. His face was so funny He was so shocked. We were so happy. I called my Dr the next day and scheduled an appointment. On Feb 7,2006 I found out I was 7 weeks. My doctor was so surprised he did an ultrasound that day. I got to hear the heartbeat and I just cried. I was so happy. Well during the ultrasound my doctor told me I had cysts on both ovaries.He wanted me to come back every two weeks for an ultrasound. Every time I went back they got bigger and bigger. So by my fifteenth week they were the size of grapefruits and I had multiples on my left one and the baby had no room to grow. We scheduled surgery for April 12, 2006. In the early hours of April 9,2006 I woke up with pain and I was sick to my stomach and I was thinking I am loosing the baby. My husband called the Dr and he called me back within 5 minutes. He asked me to come on to the hospital. We met him at the hospital and he did an ultrasound and said we are going to have to go ahead and do your surgery this morning. I had to take that chance and get them out before they ruptured inside me and I loose my ovaries and my baby. They took me down to the OR and tried to do a spinal block and an epidural but it wouldn't work. After trying several times and me crying my eyes out I was already in pain and it was just getting worse. So my Dr walked in and they decided to put me under anesthesia and would cut me like a c-section. I cried until the put me under.I woke up in recovery I was so sick and I hurt so bad. I was scared to ask but I asked my nurse how was my baby. She told me the baby was fine when they closed me up the heartbeat was 166. I praised God right then. After being moved to my room I was so sick from anesthesia and they had me bandaged up so I had to wait 2 days after my surgery because they couldn't find the heartbeat. My hope was sinking fast, I was thinking a DNC would be next but on that Tuesday morning I finally got to hear my baby's heartbeat. I stayed in the hospital 4 days. I was still sick and was throughout my whole pregnancy.I ended up loosing 25 pounds and gained back 6. On May 1,2006 I found out I was having a little boy. Joy filled my heart. I went for another ultrasound when I was 31 weeks and they found another cyst on my left ovary. The doctor told me I would loose my left ovary when I had my son. I had him at 38 weeks by c-section. I wasn't awake during the birth.On Sept 7Th I went to the Dr for my pre-op and my Dr said are you ready to have this baby. I said yes I am. We both talked about how we didn't think he was gonna make it and how meant to be he was. On Sept 8,2006 Our little miracle Bailey Jackson Reaume was born at 8:27am and weighed 5lbs 11oz and was18 1/2 inches long. He was so tiny but I think he was perfect because of everything he had been through. He had a head full of black hair. So many people were there that morning he was born,They too had been waiting to see the miracle child. Now ladies you have heard my story. It took me a long time to realize why I didn't have a baby with my first husband it just wasn't meant to be. God knows best and it took me along time to realize that. So ladies if you are going through a situation like this please don't give up. God will let it happen when it's suppose too. With God All Things Are Possible. Matthew 19:26
